I did not write this wonderful piece. I got it somewhere on the Internet along time ago. Unfortunately, there was no author listed. I'm sure she knows how great of a piece this is and it rings true for so many of us. Thank you.
“Suess” for Nursing Mothers
Mother’s milk is just the thing!
Would you nurse her at the park?
Would you nurse him in the dark?
Would you nurse him with a Boppy?
And when your boobs are feeling floppy?
I would nurse him in the park,
I would nurse her in the dark.
I’d nurse with or without a Boppy.
Floppy boobs will never stop me.
Can you nurse with your seat belt on?
Can you nurse from dusk till dawn?
Though she may pinch me, bite me, pull,
I will nurse her ‘till she’s full!
Can you nurse and make some soup?
Can you nurse and feed the group?
It makes her healthy strong and smart,
Mommy’s milk is the best start!
Would you nurse him at the game?
Would you nurse her in the rain?
In front of those who dare to complain?
I would nurse him at the game.
I would nurse her in the rain.
As for those who protest lactation,
I have a perfect explanation.
Mommy milk is tailor made
It’s perfect food, you need no aid.
Some may scoff and some may wriggle,
Avert their eyes or even giggle.
To those who can be cruel and rude,
Remind them breast’s the perfect food!
I would never scoff or giggle,
Roll my eyes or even wiggle!
I would not be so crass or crude,
I KNOW that this milk’s the perfect food!
We make the right amount we need,
The perfect temp for every feed.
There’s no compare to milk from breast-
The perfect food, above the rest.
Those nursing smiles are oh so sweet,
Mommy milk is such a treat.
Human milk just can’t be beat.
I will nurse, in any case,
On the street or in your face.
I will not let my baby cry,
I’ll meet her needs, I’ll always try.
It’s not about what’s good for you,
It’s best for babies, through and through.
I will nurse her in my home,
I will nurse her when I roam.
Leave me be lads, leave me be ma’am.
I will nurse her, Mom I am.
I am an eco friendly, frugal, breastfeeding, homebirthing, cloth diapering, non-vaccinating, organic eating, composting, deal finding, homeopathic mama with lots of info to share with the world...or whomever wants to know. :) I would love to answer questions you many have on these subjects. I live in Milwaukee Wisconsin, so most of the deals and meetings on here will be local.

Nursing is our first intimacy experience as a new little human being -- I believe if more mothers were willing to nurse, they would increase their own capacity to give and receive love, give and receive nurturing, and establish a deeper connection to the divine that we all are. This sets up a beautiful foundation for baby. Back to basics -- back to breast milk.
